Medieval and Renaissance Famagusta (2012)

Michael J. K. Walsh

Description

Professor Walsh believes that the combined power of words and images will convince international scholars, experts and policy makers, to return and protect the long neglected heritage of Famagusta. His book Medieval and Renaissance Famagusta is the first ever published on the magnificent city; The Harbour of all this Sea and Realm is the second. Both books acquaint the reader with the city’s rich history and also it’s imperiled legacy. Simultaneously, the laser imaging conducted by SolvoTek inside the church of Ss. Peter & Paul demonstrates what technology might yet do in a medieval setting such as this. It is designed to both whet the appetite and fire the imagination.
